Has anyone else heard of this? She had a liver biopsy and the next day her Primary care doctor and oncoligist told her to take 325 mg of aspirin a day "which is a complete contridiction according to the liver biopsy care sheet that Sharp Memorial gave us" 6 days after that she was given the F-5U chemo pack to attach to her for 48 hours. 48 hours later they removed the pack and 24 hours after that she woke up throwing up what looked like dark coffee grounds which was blood all over herself, my dad, there bedroom and as my dad was holding her and helping her and calling 911 she passed away in his arms. This has been the most devastating and heartbreaking experience. We will never be the same. Bless her heart. We miss her so much. She fought for 2 years with pancreatic cancer. I still cant believe she is gone. I miss talking to her every morning, going with her and my dad to weekly drs appointments, afternoon calls to check in and my nightly phonecalls before bed to tell her how much I love her and I hope she sleeps well.

Blondie I know its 2 years ago but I've only just read your plight my heart goes out to you. I was diagnosed this year and the catalogue of errors is horrendous although my macmillan nurses are wonderful as is my oncologist but it's taken me 4 years to convince doctors I knew I was Ill. But it's taken a four year are old tumor to convince them .so I know just how angry you feel.i cant do much but thank God I have faith and can still pray which I will be doing for you .do take care love poppey Storey xx
